Long-term outcome in children with neonatal seizures: A tertiary center experience in cohort of 168 patients

Long-term outcome in children with NS could be favorable in most patients, and it appears to be related to specific early clinical and paraclinical variables. Newborns with an abnormal background EEG activity, with seizures resistant to antiepileptic drugs and/or low Apgar score are at a higher risk of a poor outcome. Females are at a much higher risk of lethal outcome than males.
